College Football National Championship Game Analysis
On Monday evening January 11th, I watched the 2015 College Football National Championship between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Clemson Tigers. The three “values” I saw from this game were: preparation, competiveness, and motivation.

Both teams valued preparation because they had to be ready both athletically and mentally for what may be the biggest game of their college career.

Both teams were very competitive the entire game which resulted in a back and forth close game with the final score being 45-40 Alabama.

Both teams were motivated to play with the National Championship on the line. This was evident by how hard both teams played.

    It's early October on the grounds of the University of Kansas where barren trees; swaths of dormant, beige grass; and the pale, limestone buildings have created a monochromatic tableau that looks like a picture in an old, yellowed newspaper. Amongst the landscape of what could look like cathedrals lies a building that brings many students to their feet in anticipation of what will happen. Indeed, arriving for a game at Allen Fieldhouse can feel like preparing to rummage through the dusty archives of college basketball. But after a 2005 renovation, there's nothing musty about the newly developed structure. And with one of the best teams in the NCAA holding court inside, Allen Fieldhouse is all about the traditions that…

    To understand the problem of selecting a national champion in college football, one must first understand the system responsible for awarding teams the right to play in the National Championship. The system is called the BCS, or “Bowl Championship Series”. It was implemented in 1998 with one main goal in mind which is to pick the two best college football teams to play in the big game. Before 1998, the national champion was determined by vote through coaches and media experts. Now, the BCS uses computers and poll data to set the stage for the championship game. A lot of debate has been brought to attention of…

Every Division 1 Basketball team in the country plays to eventually make it to the Sweet Sixteen on the bracket, in hopes of being the new NCAA Basketball Champions. Some teams struggle, while others come out on top. “The Game That Saved March Madness” written by Sean Gregory, Time staff writer who has been writing about sports for about a decade, and Alexander Wolff, a writer for Sports Illustrated, talks about the legendary game between the Georgetown and Princeton Men’s basketball teams in 1989 that saved the tradition of what is known as March Madness today. This game meant so much to the NCAA and fans who love the game of basketball because it was somewhat of a rebirth for college basketball.

He also showed dedication when he started practicing a lot when coach Haskins told him he didn’t need him anymore. He even wore a face mask to protect his broken nose to still play.…

After a phenomenal upset victory over its archrival, the University of Texas, at the homecoming game in the fall, Dr.Wisner was not as happy as one would think. Instead of ecstatic alumni, students, and faculty, all Wisner heard were complaints. “The lines at the concession stands were too long”. “Parking was harder to find and farther away than in the old days” (that is, before the team won regularly); “Seats weren’t comfortable”. “Traffic was backed up halfway to Dallas”; and on and on. “A college president just can’t win,” muttered Wisner to himself.…
